Hello,
With the question “Is it dangerous to open a 1/4 heart valve with difficulty breathing? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Heart valve regurgitation has many degrees with my case 1/4 ie mild valve regurgitation. Normally with such a valve condition, it rarely causes the symptoms you describe such as chest pain, shortness of breath. Therefore, the best solution for you is to see a doctor to evaluate as well as find other causes that may be cardiac as well as extra-cardiac causing you to have those symptoms.
If you still have questions about 1/4 heart valve regurgitation with difficulty breathing, you can go to a hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
